Epiphone Hummingbird Pro Acoustic/Electric Guitar – Faded Cherry Burst
Plug into a Country Rock Classic
The Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric guitar brings the legendary country/rock “Hummingbird” into the 21st century with the new Shadow™ ePerformer™ preamp and Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup system.
First introduced in 1960, the square shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Hummingbird for rhythm on early Stones hits like “Satisfaction,” “Play With Fire” and “Under My Thumb.”
There are also many classic photographs of Richards using a Hummingbird on sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goat’s Head Soup and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird is still a go-to acoustic for rockers like Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and superb “woody” tone that’s full of character.
On its own, the Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric can drive an all-acoustic band or be front and center at a picking party with its sweet, balanced tone. Now with the Shadow™ ePerformer™ preamp and Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup system, The Hummingbird PRO can plug-in and hold its own on any size stage.
The Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric guitar does more than simply claim to be “historic” or “vintage” styled – the Hummingbird Acoustic Electric guitar has long stood out in the Gibson and Epiphone lineups as a favourite of some of the world’s most revered singer/songwriters.

Pro-SCM setup for optimum comfort and playability
This is a fine guitar, still, our regular customers are fussy and our Pro-SCM setup ensures optimum playability. Frets are checked for level, the ends are hand rolled and the frets then polished. Both fretboard and bridge are oiled and polished. If you have a preference for string height, let us know when you make your purchase. The nut will be de-burred of sharp edges and nut slots cut to ensure easy action. The saddle will also be check and adjusted as required. Once again, this is your opportunity to have this guitar set up to your requirements. Yamaha provide 12-53 gauge strings. If you would like your brand new guitar set up with a different gauge or brand of strings, let us know – you only pay for the strings!
